Yaldwyn was born at Blackdown House in Lodsworth, Sussex, England on 6 September 1801 to Richard Yaldwyn and his wife Martha (née Serle) and was privately educated on the family estate.In 1831, he had married Henrietta Mary Bowles in Cuckfield, Sussex. They were to have three children including William Yaldwyn Jr., who also went on to be appointed to the Queensland Legislative Council.Yaldwyn travelled to Australia on 5 May 1836 from Gravesend to Sydney on the William Glen Anderson.

William and Henrietta had their third child in Yass called Burton born on 19 September 1837.

He purchased several blocks of land at Brunswick, Prahran, Kalkallo and Collins Street. Property values fell rapidly and William Yaldwyn was forced to sell. He made several sea trips to Australia before settling in Queensland. Ref X 4. Signed by Author(s).…
